Preparing the study plan

Within the "One or More University training Activities" group, also referred to as the free-choice section, students may include:

• Training activities offered by their own Degree Programme that have not already been included elsewhere in the study plan;
• Training activities offered by the University's open-access Degree Programmes (selecting them from those provided by degree courses for those enrolled in a degree course and from those provided by degree courses, master's degree courses or single-cycle master's degree courses for those enrolled in master's degree courses).

The types of training activities that may be included as free-choice activities are:

• courses;
• language test; 
• seminars.

It is not possible to include laboratories or internships, unless they are already offered by your own Degree Programme within the free-choice section at the time of completing the Study Plan.

When completing the online Study Plan, the system allows students to search for educational activities by entering the course code, course title, or lecturer's name.

To include courses offered by restricted-admission degree programmes among your free-choice credits, you must follow the procedure below:

1. Check whether the same course is also offered within an open-access degree programme. If so, select it from that programme and add it directly to your online study plan.
2. If the course is offered only within a restricted-admission degree programme, request approval from the Coordinator of the degree programme to which the course belongs. The request must be sent from your institutional email account (name.surname@studio.unibo.it).
3. Once you have obtained the Coordinator's approval, complete your online study plan within the prescribed deadlines and insert a placeholder course among your free-choice credits.
4. Contact the Humanities Student Administration Office through the "Write to Us" (Scrivici) service available in the Virtual Help Desk and request the modification. The request must include:

• the code and title of the placeholder course to be removed;
• the code and title of the course to be added to the Study Plan;
• a screenshot of the Coordinator's approval, including your original request to the Coordinator in the same screenshot.

1) Studenti online

If you are an enrolled student you can submit or change the study plan via Studenti Online only when the service is open. After making your choices, do not forget to click on “save”  to complete the process. Also, we suggest to print a copy of the submitted study plan in order to check for formal or substantive errors that might arise after the upload.

If you are a student who has applied for a programme change or transfer, or if you have enrolled in a second degree programme with credit recognition starting from the 2017/18 academic year, you must also complete your Study Plan through the Studenti Online service using your University credentials.

2) Hard-copy forms

You are required to present your study plan exclusively in hard-copy if:

• you are enrolled for a "seconda laurea" and obtained the recognition of credits before a.a. 2016/17
• you made a change of curriculum before a.a. 2016/17
• you transferred from another degree program or from another University having obtained the recognition of credits before a.a. 2016/17
• you enrolled after after a.a. 2008/09 and you are currently "fuori corso” (you do not graduate within the end of the second year of  the program)
• you enrolled as part-time student

For delivery of hard-copy form contact Segreteria studenti dei Corsi di studio di Studi Umanistici - sede di Bologna.
